Palacio de Cortes

The Palace of Cortés in Cuernavaca, Mexico, is, at almost 500 years old, the oldest conserved colonial era civil structure in the continental Americas. The building began as a fortified residence for Hernán Cortés and his second wife Juana Zúñiga. It was built in 1526, over a Tlahuica/Aztec tribute collection center, which was destroyed by the Spanish during the Conquest. Cortés replaced it with a personal residence to assert authority over the newly conquered peoples. As Cortés’ residence, it reached its height in the 1530s, but the family eventually abandoned it.

Robert Brady Museum

Touring the Museo Robert Brady is a private glimpse into Robert Brady's colorful life at Casa de la Torre in Cuernavaca from 1961 to 1986, and reminds all who enter that color is visceral, that objects from seemingly disparate origins provoke the senses, and that in this exceptional home-now-museum, life is art.

The mystery of the beginning of all things is insoluble by us;

and I for one must be content to remain an agnostic.
